THERE HAS BEEN NO PERCEPTIBLE

Lehigh coal region during the past week.
Contributions of money and edibles are re-
ported as being generously distributed to
those who are in need, which fact conclus-
lively testifies that their brother workers

the strike has ended and we are but mid
way on our iourney.''

On THE FIRST DAY OF JANUARY, 1888,
the county officials elected at the late cleo
tion will be sworn in as full-hedged public
servants. The voters who by their suf-
frages placed these men in positions of i'm
portant public trust, expect at their hands
careful, wise and practical dispensation
of matters pertaining to the public veal.
In this they will not be disappointed; hon
est and capable, the new officials will rap.
idly win reputation for integrity of pur-
pose that cannot be questioned.

AN ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS THE FED
Grafton of Labor threatens to supercede
the Knights of Labor. 1t is said that al
ready the membership of the former far
exceeds that of the latter. The new or
ganization, it is said, is conducted on a
more economical and business-like basis
innumerable officials, drawing large salar-
les are to be unknown, cliques and rings
will not be tolerated, and taken altogether
the Federation of Labor promises much
that is good and necessary in the way of a
first-class labor organization.

ALTHOUGH THE FALL ELECTION OF 1883
is some distance off, the names of several
prominent gentlemen have been mentioned
In connection with the Office of Assembly
by the Democratic leaders. Particularly
prominent in this connection we might
mention that intelligent and capable young
Democrat Joseph Fisher, Esq. Possessing
qualifications such as prominently fit him
for legislative career, he would reflect
credit upon the people of this section.

OUR ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY, THE
Herald, of Weatherly, deviates not from
the truth when it says that ''control of the
telegraph by government would be robbing
individual enterprise of its Just rights"
The CARBON ADVOCATE would perforce
break up pools and syndicates which inn
pose heavily upon the masses, but the CEN
tralizing of individual enterprise in the
hands of free government would be in
judcious inasmuch as it would be highly
imprudent and impracticable.

OUR HEREFORD LETTER.
HEREFORD, N. c., Aug, 81, 1873

HEREFORD, N. c., Aug, 81, 1887.
Mr.. EDITOR: Mr. A NJ. Simmons, a
graduate of the University of n: c., has
been elected principal of the Hartford
High School with Mrs. A. E. Barrow as
assistant.
Miss Hattie Goodwin Of Norfolk Va,
who has been visiting her friend, Miss
Annie Toms, returned TO her home last
Monday.
We were glad 10 see our friends, Mat
Baker and Clifton Mitchell, OF EdentOn,
last Sunday. We hope they will come
again soon AMI etav longer. We also
saw Messrs. Tom Summerell and l.. L.
Brinkley, last Sunday night, with theiI
girls at the Baptist church-bOth looked
smiling and happy. Mr.. Brinkley was
with one of EdentCn' 5 Bellies, while Nj.
Summereu was with Hartford s fairest
daughter zone whom she would not
give up to the State. The writer knows
something about this for he has been
there himself.

the Misses. Annie S. Toms, Annie L.
Gillian and Hattie Goodwin, took a de
lightful sail on the old blue Perquimans
"a few nights ago-all enjoyed them
selves finely except the writer of the
article-he had a very tame time as he
could not get a partner to go with he
could not find girl in Hertford that
would go, but, you bet. next time he
goes. he will have delightful time if
has to come up to Edenton to get him
girl to go with. He hopes the one Mr.
Summerel went to church with will go
with him next time.
Messrs. L. A. Cox and G.. w. Toms
have left for the University of n. c.,
our town is very lonely after their de-
parture.
Mr.. j. w. Hayes succeeds Mr. Toms

won lots of friends during his stay in

left, but, if you can t get partner for
the next sail, come up and we'll help
you out. We have some of the prettiest
girls here you can find anywhere.-ED.

EDITORIAL.

The following editorial extract
from 1.-THE Tobacco Plant speaks
not only the truth as to its own posi-
ton with reference TO the presen'
administration but asks, in fitting
terms, questions most appropriate
yet, difficult to answer. We shake
hands with our contemporary and con-
gratulate the party, not only in Dur
ham, but in the State, upon possessing
SO able an exponant of it's principles
and so fea less and faithful an advo
cate of it's interest. Let the people
OF our section read and know that
there are others in the State who feel
just appreciation of the President
and that able journals. standing fast
in the faith of their party and firmly
pledged to maintain the peoples in
terest, are ever ready to defend the
administration against the complaints
of it's enemies.
While some of the Democratic
papers and office-seeking politicians
have found fault with the present
administration, The Plant has stood
by and endorsed it. We do not see
how any one can dispute Mr. CleYe
lands honesty, integrity and ability.
Because he has failed to give some
politicians friend an Office, or turn
out Some officer, which he could not
do without violating the civil service
law, is this any reason why Democrats
should find fault, and say he is not fit
for a Democrtic president? If Mr..
Cleveland is not fit, who is? Who
eles could lead the party to victory
in 1888? What sort of President
dees the country need? One that
can be turned and twisted around the
fingers OF every politician that goes
to Washington? We think not. A
President should be man of firmness,
courage. honesty Of purpose, intelli-
gence and ability. Such man, we
think, is the present Chief Executive,
and The Plant will stand by him so
long as he is true to these principles
and the Democratic party. The Plant
has faith in President Cleveland.
based on his past record, and because
it believes him to be true Democrat.
His denomination will be but a just
tribute to his administration

Of the sound as far down as the Pas
quotank river will patronize factory
established at Edenton. Not only
go, hut Cue ice used in all the sur
rounding country during the entire
year would be purchased right here.
But, you say. our people are, as
rule, small consumers. We grant it,
but. while it is true, we feel safe in
concluding the cause to be the alb
sence, at times, of ice from our mark
cts, coupled with the high price
demanded for it. Let it be plentiful
and let it be made so as to be placed
within the reach Of men of small
means and you will find its use grow
ing-quickly becoming general, ii
not universal. Our people are slow
in denying themselves of things GOOD
and desirable, especially when such
things are within reach-when they
can be conveniently had and at pri-
ces not ct variance with plans OF
frugal living. Because man is poor
we should not conclude him devoid
of disposition to indulge in those
things which add to the luxury o..
living and contribute 20 pleasure,
Every man in this country lives as
we'll as his means will allow, and il
things that contribute to good living
were put within reach of all the peo-
pie they would improve upon their
manner of life and would thus con-
tribute to make general that success
which is now confined to a few.
We trust those who are agreed with
US will commence at an earl y day the
construction ofa factory. We would
be glad to see one in operation, ready
to supply the demand during the
next season for fishing.
The semi-weekly fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1886-1887, 1887-08-30

THE prospects for an ice factory.
we are happy to state, grow brighter.
Some of our citizens, approaching the
suggestion ofthe FISHERMAN 6 FARM
Err. made some time since, to the
affect that Edenton, of all other pla-
ces in East Carolina, was THE point
for making and selling ice, having
fully discussed the matter are
now pretty we'll settled in their con-
illusions. That it will pay is almost
certain. No one can otherwise con-
clude who will consider the quantity
necessarily used, every season, by
our local fisherman and the supply
necessary for the seine fisheries along
the Albemarle, the ChOwan and Roam
oke. Thousands of tons are annually
consumed by people who are, at pres
ent, and who have been for years past
almost entirely dependant upon Bos-
ton and other markets for their supply.
Think of the cost of ice bought in
Boston and transported here, and
then add, to the price ofpurchase and
the charge for transportation, the loss
sustained by melting while in trans
itu and st the time of delivering;
add to all this the loss sustained by
reason of imperfect houses in which
our people are forced to keep it. and
then ask yourselves the question-can
not ice be made here and sold, though
at profit, for less than it cost our
fishermen year after year. If it can,
then be assured that every fisherman
in our section from the Meherrin
river to the sound and on either side

A DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.
Or. Van Stacks sanitarlun Burned

Sunday morning last, about halt past u
O'Clock, DR. Van Stacks Santarum, Ioca-
ted on Kennesaw Avenue, nearly half
mile from the square was discovered to be
on fire. The night Waterman at Brumby's
chair factory was the first to give the alarm
and soon the night Waterman on the square
had the fire bell ringing. Mr.. Thomas
Brumby and Mr. Jerry Reagan were the
first persons at the fire, and the building
was then partially enveloped in flames.
They had hard work in arousing the sleep
ing inmates, who had barely time to escape,
but little being saved. Mrs Van Slack saw
ed her trunk, but had to flee the burning
J building in her night clothing The board
/ ers lost everything except one family which
managed to get out their trunks aud clothing.
1t was thought by some that the fire caught
from the heater or the range in the kitchen.
but rs that part of the building was not on
fire when the first persons arrived on the
scene, ii is hardly probable for this surnlise
to be correct. The fire apparently orgina-
ted in the ell as that part of the building
was first consumed, and it was more than
likely the work OF an iucendary The
building was newly constructed last summer
two-story with attic and basement and con
tanned thirty rooms We learn that there
was 81 900 insurance on the building and
81 Gee on the furniture, ali With Mr.. Coryell.
The ire was very large one and illum-
mated the heavens brilliantly. The flames
shot high up and The sparks and burning
shingles went flying in the air as thick as
flakes Of Snow Dr. Stewards two-story
barn caught on fire aud also an clubhouse
and both were consumed The barn was
full Of hay corn and other feed HIS dwell
Ing and kitchen caught on fire several times,
but several persons stationed on top of the
buildings poured on water from buckets
and thereby saved further loss There be-
ing no available water in that part of the
town the fire engine could donothing
SPARKS FROM THE FIRE.
DR. Stewart loss was $1,000.
Some gold and silver, watches and jew
elry were burned up in the fire
The Sanitarium was beautifully finished
inside and all the rooms elegantly furnish
ed
DR. Van Slack, we learn, had to rescue
his TWO daughters from the second story by
means of ladder
Burning shingles were waited over
half mile from the fire.
Mr.. Cheek house caught on fire from
thickly falling sparks, but Mr.. Norris Hol-
land saved it by putting some men on top
who exhnguished it and watched it until
all danger was over.
DR. Van Stacks loss above insurance
is very heavy.
We are glad to learn that DR.. Van
Slack will rebuild very soon.
John Cooper saved sack of guano out
Of Dr. Stewards barn, but he let the corn
burn up.
A number Of our citizens did not know
Of the fire until late Sunday morning
One of our citizens in his haste visited
the fire Sunday morning with his pants
turned wrong side out His pockets Topped
like the wings of a turkey.
